3.0 good | ExoskeletalJunction | April 23rd 22 | 19th April: Chelsea Wolfe - Mistake in Parting (singer/songwriter, 2006)
I can definitely see why Chelsea wants this one gone from the internet, but in all honesty
it's an interesting piece of history on her development - and many artists have albums of
this type. It's just a pity that she released it under her own name. To me this feels like a
slightly edgy version of singer/songwriter mum-pop. I honestly hear a lot of Brooke Fraser
in this, and for the non-New Zealanders who don't know who she is, it's like inoffensive and
occasionally inspired generic-bandground-pop-for-cafes. Like Brooke Fraser, this is part
pop, part folk, part rock, but all focused on the voice, and sadly there's a bit too much of
a focus on the rather poor lyrics. Some of the songs here are undoubtedly juveline and
unrefined, but she's still a great singer, and there's a weird niche that this fills between
goth rock and adult contemporary.
5.9 (3rd listen)

3.5 great | CoffeeByNight | June 30th 18 | I find this quite a comfy listen. What this lacks in lyricism and experimentation, it makes up for with vocal performance, and beautifully textured and lush instrumentation.

0.0 | Dewinged STAFF | September 6th 17 | This album showcases Wolfe's voice stripped down of effects and malignous magic forces, revealing the fragile beginning of now a mature and established artist. Have no doubt. She was born to do this.

3.0 good | Britch2tiger | September 18th 15 | This is the bombastic, romantic album in her discography. As much as I am adoring the voice of Ms. Wolfe, I must stick to my principles: romance is an over-saturated area amongst music lyrics, and OUGHT to be distanced. This theme is mildly acceptable for pop music, but I was expecting better. At least better than Evanescence's Fallen, and this album DID meet that expectation. Again, the longest songs are the better tracks. Not high up on my list of albums to own, but it at least reveals the creative potential of Chelsea Wolfe. I hope to hear the improvements from here on!

4.0 excellent | nicolauz | December 3rd 11 | A lot less synthy and gritty then her later releases, but has easily become just as good and proof that her voice without vox's can be just as powerful.
